Really does not matter who leads the NDP as NDP policies are just terrible for the economy and business. High taxation, Labour Union favourtism, single focus policies for a narrow band of friends that accomplish nothing, lack of any concept of major project management, and so on.

The NDP hard core left wing policies never work. In fact, Vladimir Putin said today that Lenin who laid the foundation of socialism, did Russia a massive disservice and basically put Russia into a tailspin of mediocracy.

NDP are never successful as demonstrated here in BC, and several other Provinces. The NDP cost taxpayers a massive amount of money.

A third party = an NDP government. The leader of the BC Conservatives just resigned. I had never heard of the guy before, nor do I recall his name now. Does anybody (without doing a search)? The progressive conservatives need to stay in the tent and effect change from within.

Don just because we don’t want your scandal ridden tax grabbers doesn’t mean a thing. We do not want Clucky Clark. We do not want your Carbon Tax. And for not hearing us, make no mistake, you WILL.. If you want to change from within, I can think of replacing at least four ministers for their inept performance (The Minister of Transportation for his handling of the highway of tears coverup, the minister of the environment for her sub-standard performance with the Mt. Polley environmental disaster, the Minister of Children and Families for her inability to control the renegade MCFD and the Minister of Health for the lack of empathy in the health ministry firings. Then Christy can resign for allowing this garbage to go on at a considerable expense. The worst government EVER.

You maybe right, unfortunately, in BC we have a distinct polarization where the Labour Unions are blood brothers of the bloddy NDP, whilst business supports the BCLiberals (a coalition of the others). The ignorant Green Party has nothing to offer, whilst the Conservatives have never amounted to much since their demise in 1952.

So this is a battle between the hard left whose policies have been destructive to British Columbia and the current BC Liberals, whose policies are not much better, but provide a greater robust environment.

Right now BC is the ONLY ‘have Province’ in Canada. That to the credit of the BC Liberals. If an NDP government were to take over, we would be a ‘have not’ Province as soon as a NDP Throne Speech is issued.

You have to wonder about the IQ of Mt. Pleasant voters. These are some of the poorest people in the country who have for a century voted for socialist parties and where has it gotten them. No where except deeper in poverty. Is it a lack of education or just common sense that voting for an MP or MLA that is sitting in opposition 90% of the time, you get squat. These voters are so obsessed with socialist representation, they even reelected the queen of poverty pimps, Jenny Kwan who after a stunning financial audit of the Portland Society, had to tearfully repay taxpayers for her European and Disneyland vacations. When Einstein famously defined insanity as doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results, he was obviously describing the Mt Pleasant constituents.

Socialism is the Failed Philosophy of Karl Marx . . . the 20th Century is littered with the abject disasters created by this insanity. Today in the 21st century we only have to look at Europe, mostly failing socialist style governments, the failed NDP provinces in Canada .. . And these low info voters want to emulate this nonsense here?
I still remember the 90s . . . when High Taxes, High Unemployment and Failure was the legacy of the NDP.
What is scarey . . . some folks still buy into this nonsense in 2016!

To win power, the Greek socialists kept promising their people they would be sipping ouzo and eating souvlaki on a retirement pension at 85% of their salary at age 52. Today they are rioting on the streets while youth unemployment is 50% while their socialist leaders are on their financial knees begging Germany for yet another payday loan. Mark Twain famously said. Some people would prefer to suffer the agony of believing lies rather than accept the reality of being duped for so long.

What is truly frightening is those that think that the tax and spend policies of the Liberal party is doing any good. Almost double deferred debt as well as debt. And these people consider the Lie-berals a solid party. After all the scandals and corruption people are ready to take the Liberal trash to the curb.

… and today, Vladimir Putin President of Russia, declared that the socialist policies of Karl Marx ruined Russia. The NDP and other Labour Parties love the declarations of Karl Marx, and almost ALL socialist parties around the world are in failure mode.

The NDP an active member of the Socialist International, who admire the works of Marx, of Zimbabwe Robert Mugabe, along with the nits in Venezuela, have adopted their plans. The NDP ‘Leap Manifesto’ amplifies the dreaded policies of the Left wing that would lead Canada into an economic disaster.

The NDP are entirely destructive for all levels of Canadian society and should never ever be given the levers of power at any government level. Just look at the disaster of Vancouver, and Victoria, not to mention Alberta and Manitoba.

Andrew Greeley wrote a book “The Senator and the Priest”. The story is about two brothers. The Senator’s campaign promise to remain positive is tested; his opponent has huge dollars behind him and is negative every step of the way. When one is running a positive campaign, it doesn’t mean one doesn’t point out the flaws in their opponent’s platform. It means one doesn’t attack the Character of the opponent. It means one doesn’t attack the families of the opponents. Mayor Richard Daley (I forget which ones) said: we don’t do that to people’s kids. Now THAT’S ethical.

Adrian Dix misunderstood what ‘staying positive’ meant. It meant stay true, stay strong and stay honest – he blew it. There is nothing about her character here, which is good. There is nothing derogatory about her personally. I think this is a good ad.

Just typical NDP propaganda. Saskatchewan and Manitoba are having provincial elections in April and the NDP will lose both provincial elections.
Alberta has just lost its AAA credit rating, NOT BECAUSE OF LOW OIL REVENUES, BUT BECAUSE THE ALBERTA NDP WILL NOT BUDGET IN RELATION TO REVENUES.
Like the readers church mouse, Ken280/KennyG says, the NDP is dead but never in public, reason why he always votes for the Green party. Isn’ that right, Ken? Go ahead, blow another gasket, but maybe not because you are now ill.

Joe we have all heard your continued dogmatic claims re these two provinces ie Manitoba and Saskatchewan.
Is this is all you have to offer?
Do you even live in BC Joe?
It appears that you and Ken 280 are only able to argue continually on this site.
Please both of you give it a rest.

R.DM: How about telling the readers church mouse Ken280/KennyG giving it a rest. Stop treating B.C. like it is its own country. B.C. is a province in the country of Canada.
The NDP is united both federally and provincially across the country, so the NDP in B.C., Saskatchwan, and Manitoba, is all the same.
The NDP will lose the April elections in Saskatchewan and Manitoba just like the NDP will the B.C. election in 2017, and the Alberta election in 2019.

Some of you fell for the LNG pipe dream , remember 1 million jobs , pay of the skyrocketing provincial debt ,the debt that the BC Liberals choose to ignore .
Deleted emails so no records to come back to haunt them , chaotic family services ministry , Mount Pauly disaster ignored by the BC Liberals even though the Feds warned them this pond was leaking , several RCMP investigations just to name a few gems from the Queen of photo ops .
The BC Liberals , the party for naive gullible voters .

Oh yes I recall crusty’s promises last election remember 1 million jobs,no Prov debt, trillions in the bank,and guess what more lies. Crusty you are done you are full of yourself ,we are done with you………

Could have been, except for the stupidity of the Eco-terrorists, along with the greed and short sight of the FN.
If one wants people programs, infrastructure improvements, government needs revenues. That is done via expansion of investment and business.

The NDP plan is to heavily tax business and investors that does not work.
